What Our Students Say — Real Outcomes, Real Careers
From ITI graduates and electricians to engineers and career changers — IISE graduates are building successful solar careers across India.
"I was an electrician for 6 years but had to say no whenever clients asked about solar. After IISE's 3-month course, I can now do full rooftop solar installations and I'm earning nearly double what I made before. The rooftop practicals were what made the real difference — you simply cannot learn this stuff by watching videos."
"After ITI in Electrician trade, I was struggling to find a job that paid well. The trainers explained everything from scratch and the lab sessions made everything click instantly. Within 3 weeks of completing the course, IISE's placement team had helped me get selected. I now work as an O&M technician and am already being considered for a supervisor role."
"I had a B.Tech in Electrical but no practical solar experience and kept getting rejected in interviews. The IISE course filled that gap — the rooftop installation practical and SMA inverter commissioning sessions are exactly what companies test you on in technical rounds. I cleared my first post-IISE interview in Bengaluru within a month of graduating."
"I was skeptical about online learning — thought I wouldn't get proper training. But the hybrid model at IISE worked really well. The online theory was clear and organized, and the offline practicals were thorough. The trainers are genuine experts — one has a PhD in solar energy and the way he explained technical concepts made everything easy to understand. I completed the course while working part-time."
"I had a small electrical contracting business and wanted to get into solar properly. The IISE course gave me the technical knowledge and confidence I needed. Now I take rooftop solar projects in my city and also maintain systems for my clients on annual contracts. The investment in this course gave me returns within the first two projects I completed entirely on my own."
